How should I configure my firewall and mail servers so my company can use Pluralsight Skills?

Email

Please make certain you configure the following hosts as trusted senders on your email server and firewall so that mail from Pluralsight isn't rejected.

• @pluralsight.com
• @tmail.pluralsight.com
• Mandrill, IP address 198.2.134.48
• Sparkpost, IP addresses 192.174.86.231 and 192.174.86.230, @appmail.pluralsight.com

Please make sure admin@pluralsight.com and @appmail.pluralsight.com are not routed to spam. If you don't do this, your users may not receive their business subscription invitations and password reset emails.

If your organization elects into customer marketing communications, typically around adoption and engagement, please whitelist and configure this host as a trusted sender on your email server and firewall:

• Marketo, @create.pluralsight.com, IP address 192.28.147.19

This is optional and only necessary for organizations that are working with Pluralsight and using customer marketing communications.

Video content

If you’re experiencing issues with video content, check out our video checkup tool, as well as this article on video troubleshooting steps. 

To verify that a local firewall is not blocking access to our video servers, please try downloading this 40MB video file directly from our content delivery network here. If your firewall is rejecting our videos, you'll likely see 403 Forbidden. This may include a message explaining why your firewall blocked your request.

If you still are having issues with our content, especially playing videos, please reach out to your IT Ops team to make sure the subdomains below are allowed through your network firewall and any security appliance.

Video course exercise files

To allow your users to download and use exercise files associated with video courses, please add the following domain:

• ip-video-course-exercise-files-us-west-2.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
